As far as the spec's on the motor it is a 400 block with a 327 crank.

That is 4.165" bore and 3.25" stroke...Iron Block...Iron Heads
The GN's get away with those iron heads, so if buick saw fit to do it, I am sticking to the same strategy. I may pay, but I am working very hard to intercool this thing. Crank is 4340 non-twist forging, Rods are Lunati Pro-Mod 6.125"...It works out to be a 354 with long rods. I am waiting on JE spherical dished custom pistons...aluminum is being cut as I write this.

Comp hydraulic roller valve train. The weak link is definitely the heads, but hey, I got two turbos . My 400 is .040" over and this will be this block's last hurrah for sure.

Tranny is a 4l80e with compushift.

The only things I am still scared of are the down pipes and the intake plumbing, everything else I've got pretty much sorted out.

Oh yeah, brakes are already done, factory in the front and wilwood disc's out back with hydroboost master cylinder.

I will try to build the rest of it out in the garage instead of on my couch in my office(it's an old couch)
